Ghosts.How in the world does an abandoned horse trailer get on the tracks unless someone put it there, on purpose, maybe?
If the trailer has a license plate they should be able to trace it back to someone.How in the world does an abandoned horse trailer get on the tracks unless someone put it there, on purpose, maybe?
I'm not sure about criminal, but Amtrak's insurance carrier can file a subrogation claim against the trailer's insurance policy and recover their cost of repairs and, possibly, loss of use (depending on state law). If the trailer doesn't have insurance, then the bill goes to the owner of the trailer.Even though no one was hurt are there any precedence for criminal charges in incidents like this?
Oh yes, these incidents are rare (though not as rare as we'd like). It's even more rare for the locomotive being damaged to the point it has to be replaced.I assume incidents are rare (hopefully)? Taking my first Amtrak trip in a few weeks on the CZ.... this isn't helping.
